“The Alnico 5 Signature is higher output than traditional vintage styles. Tight bass, present mids, and a conveniently subdued treble. It's there if you want it, but you're in control. If I were Leo, this is what I would have made in 1950.” –McNelly Pickups

Kent Armstrong opened the archives for this replication of a 1952 Tele® single coil bridge pickup using authentic 42 gauge Formvar wire and alnico 3 magnets for that true vintage tone that everyone demands from the boutique winders. Finally Kent added a stainless steel base plate to ensure the magnetic field is not absorbed by a magnetic plate lessening the field strength. Now these great pickups are available to you for a fraction of the cost! Chrome covered neck position available as a partner, P-PUK29.
